HMS Belleisle (1795)

HMS Belleisle was a 74-gun third-rate ship of the line of the French Navy and the Royal Navy, launched on 29 April 1794 and broken up in 1814. The ship was captured by Great Britain at Groix on 23 June 1795 while under the name Formidable, and the British renamed the ship after "Belle Isle", believing that they had captured the ship near that location. The ship fought at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805, becoming the only British ship to become demasted at that battle, and it suffered 33 dead and 93 wounded. In 1807, the ship took part in the occupation of Denmark's Caribbean territories, and the ship was broken up in Portsmouth harbor in 1814.
